It’s official – Salt Bae’s signature sprinkle is fit for a King (and Queen).
Just when you thought we’d reached peak Salt Bae, the sodium sensation has added two more famous faces to his list of fans – the King and Queen of Jordan.
Turkish chef Nusret Gökçe, the owner of the Nusr-Et steakhouse chain, was hosted by none other than King Abdullah II and his wife, Queen Rania, on a recent visit to Jordan.
The chef posted photos of the encounter to Instagram, thanking the royals for their hospitality and generosity – and even getting the King to imitate his trademark salt-sprinkling move.

A video which showed the chef sensually slicing up a steak, before adding a final flourish of seasoning, received over 10 million views in a matter of weeks.
